I forgot how much I enjoy work. Definitely not the travel aspect, or even the long days, but just doing something. I missed it for sure.

And I've just found out how much Scooby hates when I work. My living room really suffered my missing our afternoon walk. Whoops?

At least I don't have anything overly valuable.

Next time, send him my way. I've managed to purchase the stables and land now so I've got plenty of space for him to tire himself out.

Welcome back! How was it?

If the jobs get more common, I might need to. I didn't expect to be gone as long as I was, and man, he's very fussy.

It was so much fun! I forgot what the energy was like on sets.

It's fine, you know you can always call on me in a pinch, Daph. I'm not exactly doing a lot with my time right now. And I love Scoob.

Yeah? Was this the swimming costume shoot or a different one?

You're possibly going to regret that, but at least you'll have a horse to ride to wear him out.

Swimming costumes, but I think I've got a job for their summer line. I need to show you the designs, they're super cute!

Horses. I've got a few so far, two are mine and then a couple of people have asked to keep theirs at the stables too. I've had to hire stablehands. I think I'm a small business owner now...

Neat! I'd love to take a look. I mean fashion usually goes over my head but I'll nod and look appropriately impressed.

You absolutely are. Oh golly, are you going to brand yourself now?! You absolutely should!

I think you'll like these. There's some cute things for me, but there's a lot that's for a modern woman, very work friendly.

...brand myself?

Huh, I'll have a look. Can't promise I'll be a convert. I'm very attached to these jeans...

Ciri's Stables! Princess' Prancing Ponies! Oh gosh, you need to name the stables and get a banner or something!

You need some good, durable work clothes if you're going to be running a stable.

There's a name I keep hearing in my dreams, that maybe I could use as a name. Or at least part of it. I'm not calling it Princess' Prancing Ponies, that sounds ridiculous.

That is true. I'm guessing your new client has some of those? ;)

Oh fine! Don't trust my branding ideas. But you should. What's the name?

They do! Which is why you need to trust me!

I didn't mind Ciri's Stables :P I've heard the name 'Swallow' and people keep calling me the Lion Cub of Cintra, and Swallow in the elder tongue is zireael which sounds really nice and... Tolkeinesque.

Trust has never been the issue, Daph. But I'll come and take a look, promise.

PPP would've been a cool logo option and probably have gotten the kids circuit attention. All those pre-teens wanting to learn to ride. But given your dreams sound very Tolkeinesque, and there's a lot of riding in those books, maybe it'll fit too.

I promise nothing will resemble things from your dreams or stuff you've been forced to wear.

I guess if I run kids sessions I could do a Princess Pony Club or something? Nothing that says I can't have the cool cutesy kid branding.

Haha, yes, please. All my stuff in the dreams is like... either eye-bleedingly over the top or it's impractical.

That'd be cute as heck! I'd totally help with that by the way.

I think that's how they're meant to be. At least you can tell they're those dreams?

I'd expect nothing less ;)

True enough. I wish I could draw, I'd keep the photos to flash at you when we disagree to shock you into losing your train of thought.

Yeah, he's a Great Dane. A very energetic and demanding Great Dane

Oh, wow, that is a large dog.

It makes me feel lucky that I bring mine to work with me.

I hope he didn't destroy anything important. Nora got her paws on some personal paperwork last week and made sure it was ready for recycling...

He's a very big boy!

It's my first time back at work since Scooby came to stay with me, so I guess lesson learned?

Oh yeah, they can be so bad for that, right. My trick is having treats that Scooby likes more than wrecking my stuff.

What's your job? I guess you can't take him with you?

I'm trying puzzle feeders and treat dispensers for the time they're at home and I'm not.

I'm a model, I used to runway, which meant a lot of travel, but I've sort of settled in a location now. Much easier to keep an animal that way. But he's still a bit big to take to most jobs.

The treat dispensers have been a real godsend for us. Scooby's a bit of a snack nut, so we go through a lot of food.

That must keep you very busy.

At least you have the kind of job where you can afford to keep him fed.

Typically, it does. I took a bit of a break.

Thank goodness. I'm honestly not sure how Shaggy did it, he was Scooby's owner, he's over in Australia, which is why Scooby is with me.

But the travel element must be quite nice?

That's... an interesting name.

Oh, it really was, at the time. I did it straight out of high school, so I was 18 and travelling the world, going to big cities, wearing the most gorgeous clothes. I honestly would not swap it for the world.

Oh, his name is Norville. But he uses Shaggy, because, well. He always looks so unkempt.

That's quite the life! I'm glad it worked out for you.

I can see why he'd use a nickname.

It was very interesting, and exciting. But definitely not a long term many decades kind of lifestyle.

Absolutely, even teachers at high school just called him Shaggy.

It'd be exhausting, I bet.

That's dedication to a nickname.

Jetlag and I became very close friends.

I think teachers got sick of the sniggers from saying 'Norville' and getting no response.

It is. I used to do it more seriously, you know. Runways, fashion events, travel. But it's just really exhausting after a while. And, as cruel as it is, I'm aging out of the runaway stuff anyway. So retiring seemed like the perfect solution. Except I've never not had anything to do, you know?

Do you mean, hobby wise? I've started learning how to surf, and with Scooby there's a lot of hiking and walking. And my friend is opening a stable so I'll be able to ride again soon.

Luckily I don't really need to worry about that side of things, working and all. It's just about staying busy.
